I can't take teh Daniel Craig serious after inadvertently watching half of Cowboys and Aliens.

I usually like gritty reboots, but have not been able to get into the gnu bond Flix. I wanna watch evil villains with color coded minions living in a volcano, dammit!

We watched cloud atlas the other night. Th one by the matrix directors. Was super good, complex parallel story lines, same actors showing up in them all.

I was wondering about Cloud Atlas after seeing some mixed reviews. Seems like the kind of movie I would really dig so it's nice to hear you liked it.

Also, was the "yellow face" as bad as Yahoo News was making it out?

they had all the actors playing several different races and genders, including white actors playing asians and at least one asian playing a white woman and hugo weaving playing a woman and halle berry playing a man. it was all mixed up all over the place; i thought it was cool.

So you're saying it was racist AND sexiest.

Actually, looking at Snoops link it seems that people are just trying to find something to take issue with.

on the plus side, heading out to RR next weke end to climb more sandstones.

I assume that both kamhed and lena are werking their respective projekts at teh gnu and red, and both complaining that it's too warm. well, kamhed has already thrown out the warmth as a pre-emptive excuse on a minimum of two internetz forums, and I'm just guessing that it'll be a bit smarmy at the solar collector.

It was definitely warm. But I still sent. That thing took way more time than I thought it would. Dribble also did some gneiss tard routes off the couch. Was a really good trip.

Actually red wasn't too bad. I was working on thw wrong project for the weather, but it was still pretty darn good weekend of not sending

I would be careful with statements like that, if I were you. I am sure dribble will be able to disregard your screams of pain and to stretch _____ to the required length, in order to prove the point. If the thing falls off, as a result of stretching... just saying!

In other news, I have determined that I am imminently susceptible to mental suggestion. I got on Crown of Thorns, even though I was intimidated as heck by camhead's opinion that I would totally hate the route. Just as I was getting to the giant hueco and what looked like the reachy crux of the route, Shaun casually mentioned that his friend Ben, he of the 5.14 FA fame, took a long time to figure out that move out of the hueco, and was really mad at the beanpoles.

Next word out of my mouth, as I fail to reach the lip of the hueco? Of course, "TAKE"! But that move wasn't even the hardest one on the route!!!! Definitely not the reachiest!!!! And it took me about 30 sec to figure it out, once I got really mad. Sigh... I really wish BANZ was there, instead of Shaun. He knows just the right mix of mocking and encouragement to get me to believe in myself.

Still, wouldn't want to hang the draws on that one! But I did hang my own draws on BEHJ.

So that asshole of a cat has been getting up at 5am every morning for the last week. Like fucking clock work too.

I cannot comprehend ever living with a cat, without a basement to exile it into.

not really that hard. although our kat does not wake us up. it waits for the alarm to go off, then jumps up on the bed.

I think what happens is the cat takes a shit at 5am and then is all full of energy!

He hasn't been eating a ton in the last week since he got up here, I think he needs the time to adjust, but I'm chancing the time on his automatic feeder to feed him later at night, and hence he'll hopefully poop later in the morning.

Nathan is out in Alberta theoretically tearing it up (hard to say though, I've learned more through his blog bosts than anything), so I was left up in Owen Sound to entertain myself.

Saturday I went to the Farmer's Market then hit up a xc ski swap. Was hoping to get a pair ot boots, came away with a pair of skis and bindings. Now i have to find a cheap pair of boots.

I went for a bike ride in the afternoon, didn't dress warm enough and had numb toes for tha last hour of the ride.

Sunday I meet up with this aussie who's just moved to the area. He's in the middle of immigration and his wife is 8 months preggers but psyched to get out climbing. Just took it easy for the day, repeated a bunch of easier climb. Most routes were pretty wet anyway so I mostly just got on whatever was dry.

Started reading a new book last night and stayed up later than I thought I would. Cat woke me up at 5am. That is awl.

i have always wondered if anyone actually has trouble with those scrambled word things. THere's the number-substitution ones, like this one, and also the scrambled ones. Also backwards and upsidedown and mirrored and shit. But does anybody actually have trouble reading them? I always figured they're just to make you feel special but actually everyone gets it.

our kat isn't really ever full of energy. although she will occasionally get freaked out about (??), and take off in a mad dash for the hallway. Can't really turn properly at full speed on the wood floors, so she basically runs along the wall in order to align herself down the hallway ... I haven't checked, but I assume paw prints are showing up within the first 2-3 ft. from the ground along there.

Aw, you shouldn't have listened to Shaun. I would have just told you that a short person would have an easier time getting a high left heel on that move out of the Hueco. What was the reachiest move? That one out of the cool undercling pocket at the base of the top headwall?

And funny story about "hanging your own draws..." As you know, Ande saw a few weeks ago how that term has become a euphemism for [redacted].

In the gym the other night, N. was talking about a proj she had at the Red, which she needed B. to "hang the draws" on for her.

Me and Ande busted out laughing at this. After N. asked us why this was so funny, we told her what "hanging the draws" meant. She obviously did not fully get the gist of the entendre, because she simply said, with a disgusted look on her face, "Whatever you guys! I'll just hang my own draws!" To which we laughed even more.

it would be a lot cooler if it had a more interesting message.

What is that gibberish? Did we get hacked? Did Donnie's crypto ruin rc.knob again? I need to wipe my computer just to be safe!

Heel, what heel? No, I didn't use the heel, it was too far. And I didn't rock over on the high left foot and go up with the left hand from the rail coming out of the hueco. I pushed with left toe and went up with the right hand first, then got the left hand crimp, turned it into a fingerlock, and went with right to the jug. The cool undercling pocket on the headwall was not reachy, either. The reachiest move was above the last bolt, before reaching the anchor-clipping jug. I had to use an unchalked intermediate crimp.

Gud thymes.

LOL! In this case, I probably shouldn't make a big deal out of the fact that I hung the draws for N. on BEHJ. Well, I hung them for both N and B., as it happens... OI! NO, we will not go there!
